Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Dazzler, Colossus and Nightcrawler must battle through Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in this action-packed beat 'em up based on the comic book franchise. A massively popular brawler from Konami in its time, the original X-Men: The Arcade Game featured six X-Men characters (all of which could be playable at a time on the massive 6-player kiosks) brawling through millions of Sentinal forces and evil X-Men opponents. For the first time ever, the arcade action comes home in a complete reproduction of the original hit! The double-screen action has been conformed for more modern widescreen HDTVs, allowing all six mutant heroes to be on-screen at one time.

Taken from IGN.

6 players online drop in and out.

Characters:
Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Dazzler, Colossus and Nightcrawler

So who has it? Who is planning on buying it? I have it and have already got all the trophies except beat it within 25 mins.
 
[quote name='shadylane']does this have trophies?[/QUOTE]

Yes, pretty easy to get too although no platinum.
 
I might grab it although to me an old school game like this should be about 1/2 that price. $5 and this would be a no brainer for me.
 
I'd buy it today if it was 5.99 or something, 10 bucks just doesn't seem worth it. I'll just stick to the Saturn version I have now.

Your thinking of X-men Children Of The Atom. Not the X-men Arcade game. This game was never released on consoles. ;)

Oh ok. Either way. lol.
My opinion of the pricing still stands.
 
The game is fun...but only for nostalgic reasons. The core gameplay is kinda blah, and truly is just a button smasher. I'm not sure why, but the gameplay is not as refined as Final Fight and/or Streets of Rage. Still gonna play a lot of it during the holidays.
 
It wasn't that long ago that everybody was clamoring for these old school arcade games, but now that they're released nobody actually wants to buy them. It just isn't the same at home on a console. The beauty of the game was playing with four other strangers at the arcade and trying to get as far as you can on one quarter.
 
Great game, I used to own the arcade game (4PL) and this does get boring quick. At least the trophies are easy to get. I got 1/2 of them in one playthrough.

Storm is the best character, followed by nightcrawler.
 
will probably get through this with brothers. over holidays see if my wife will join up too to get some of the 6 people trophies.
 
Has anyone experienced crazy hardcore epic lag when trying to play with 6 people? I experience no lag when playing with a friend, but when we try to play with a full room, it lags like you wouldn't believe, making the game unplayable. We had four people in the room, and every time someone else tried to join during the game, it lagged hardcore. This has happened multiple times.
 
don't forget for those with "sticks", use them for the stimulated arcade experience. the mad catz tournament sticks arent just for fighting games. the turbo button is really great on shmups.

I haven't had much lag at all other than a few times playing 6 players on expert where there are 30 sentinels on screen at once. It's been pretty smooth for the most part for me. It is really fun with 6 players. I would like to see an option to limit continues as well to prevent mutant power spamming.
 
i definitely got some lag playing with randoms on PSN. i have also tried every button but cannot respawn as another character without exiting out of the game. Any of ya'll find a way to do that?
 
Tried to get mystique trap trophy with randoms, but no go.

So instead I just made a local game and played from beginning to the juggernaut boss. Right before killing him, i just reassigned controller 1-6 and then unpaused and killed juggs. Sat through the cutscene and got it after falling down. Finally got that 100% on this game.
 
[quote name='nbballard']Can you play 6 players locally if you have enough controllers?[/QUOTE]


yes which is why that trick worked.
